19-Year Study Shows We've Been Undervaluing How Much Compost Can Boost Carbon Capture

It's no secret that organic farmers believe in compost, but just what role compost plays in soil's ability to store carbon - and keep it out of the atmosphere, where it contributes to climate change - has been less clear.

I like these two studies that show that decaying leaves and live plants release a surprising amount of N2O (Nitrous Oxide), which destroys the ozone layer and is 300-times more potent as a greenhouse gas.

We're all goin' to die

This makes my yard is a N2O factory

Plants emit greenhouse gas nitrous oxide at substantial amounts

Nitrous oxide, or N2O, is a greenhouse gas that affects the ozone layer and the earth's climate. Until now, experts believed that microbes in the soil were largely responsible for its formation. Now an interdisciplinary research team from the University of Applied Sciences Bingen and Heidelberg...

There is far too much uninformed middle-class handwringing about climate change, as the WMO has stated.

Fight pollution, embrace climate change; mankind doesn't cause it and is powerless to prevent it.

Post pandemic, I have had my first shot, pfizer, back on 4-22 for the booster. I like that cat post. One of my better ones.

It took them 19 years to determine " The system that used both cover crops and compost, however, had significantly increased soil carbon content over the length of the study ". Many of us gardeners have known this forever. Generations have handed down this knowledge.

Cover crops are a powerful tool for gardeners. Perhaps more powerful than composting but when used together form the basis of tremendous soil building.
